I bought a complete center dash bezel from LKQ off of Ebay for 90.00 to replace a broken center HVAC vent (was messed up when I bought my H3). Online the vent alone was 55.00. I quickly removed the vent and fixed my wife's H3 then I even got the broken one fixed for a spare. I plan on experimenting with this center bezel by painting it with some red plastic dip paint (since my wife's H3 has the cool red/black interior). So I removed the aux power ports, the blank plugs, the HVAC Control Unit, rear wiper switch, and finally the 4WD selector switch pack.

I was curious so I removed the back panel to inspect it. I found that although it's for a non locker equipped rig, it still has the switch on the board for it! Just no front panel switch to activate it!! So if your 4WD selector switch goes bad you shouldn't have to hunt down either locker/non locker equipped. Just swap the boards out and you're good to go! Might save ya some $$.

Now....to figure out how to wire an aftermarket locker to that panel. I know gm switches are complicated with their wiring and etc. Just wishful thinking

A non-adventure model should be able to use the factory locker switches with some cobbling. It would basically just use the switch contacts in the dash to a relay and bypass the BCM.

I didn't take any pic's but I was surprised when I saw it had the locker button behind the blank spot. I'll get a few pics when I get a chance.
